Tello video bit rate footage. Less choppy than auto

Member

The wind has died down so I’ve been testing some settings.
I’m using a Mad Catz MFI remote.
I found the video feed very choppy at auto
Below is some footage @ 1.5 to 2 Mb bit rate. 1.5 is not as choppy as 2

Just seems to sacrifice quality. Does your app have an option for 8mbps? I’m on iPhone and it only goes up to 4mbps but have read that someone out thiers up to 8 I just wonder if that was a typo or wether some android users have that option.

I tested mine today and it didn’t make much difference what mbps I used, they all had frame dropping issues, That was with Bluetooth turned off and slow control and indoors. I’ll have to test outdoors soon. I presume it depends on your phone as well, as some people with an iPhone 10 have a big advantage on the rage it can go.

It’s amazing how almost everyone is having the “drop frames” issue with or without a Bluetooth device, and I haven’t yet heard from Ryze Robotics that they are aware of it and that they are going to address it in the next firmware upgrade!

In regards to your concern, the grey square issue on the pictures and the video lag has is a known issue with the latest firmware version of the drone. Our Engineers are currently working on it in fixing this issue in the next firmware update.

We don't have any news yet on when will the next update come. We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you.

This drone is shocking on android hardware when it comes to dropped frame rates if airplane mode isn't turned on, works perfectly with only wifi enabled after enabling airplane mode but as soon as you connect it to any bluetooth device its a slug, which renders any other controller than the phone useless...... I wish I had known this before buying the Tello as Ryze technical support haven't done a thing about all the complaints.........but if you have an iphone and not android apparently it works fine!!!!

somehow I don't think ryze will improve the video quality much. Shame because if it was at all reliable at 4Mbs I'd use it seriously. An sd card even recording at a modest 8Mbs would make it an amzing tool. But thats the point I think: dji won't want this nifty $99 drone competing with their other products. Same with the spark I think. They could easily add frame rate and bit rate options but won't want to hurt their mavic sales. Both are terrific drones for a beginner like me - well priced, easy to fly and stable. And the stills are pretty good. Just not not quite enough to compete in the.the video stakes. (I would love to be wrong! A micro SD slot would be amazing.)
